It's a static analyzer wrapper for Clang. The original scan-build
is written in Perl. This package contains reimplementation of that scripts
in Python. The reimplementation diverge from the original scripts in a few
places.
Will be available soon from the Python Package Index.
Should be quite portable on UNIX operating systems. It has been tested on FreeBSD, GNU/Linux and OS X.
- an ANSI C compiler, to compile the sources.
- cmake, to configure the build process.
- make, to run the build. The makefile is generated by
cmake
. - python interpreter (version 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4).
Please consider to use virtualenv
or other tool to set up the working
environment.
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
$ python setup.py test
To run the Clang static analyzer against a project goes like this:
$ scan-build all <your build command>
To generate a compilation database file (compilation database is a JSON file described here) goes like this:
$ scan-build intercept <your build command>
Use --help
to know more about the commands.
Because it uses LD_PRELOAD
or DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
environment variables,
it does not append to it, but overrides it. So builds which are using these
variables might not work. (I don't know any build tool which does that, but
please let me know if you do.)
If you find a bug in this documentation or elsewhere in the program or would like to propose an improvement, please use the project's github issue tracker. Please describing the bug and where you found it. If you have a suggestion how to fix it, include that as well. Patches are also welcome.
